Have you checked ib_stdio.h?  When we realized that we were limited to
about 250 connections on Solaris by their byte-sized file id, we replaced
stdio.h with our own.  On most systems, it just brings in the system version.
On Solaris, it brings in a reworked version of the BSD code.  That might
be a place to implement snprintf for systems that don't have it.

Sounds good.  That's something I'd hoped to have done by last July.
